While preparing a dessert, Sue started by using
12 ounces of chocolate in her recipe. Later, she
added 10 more ounces for flavor. What was the
total amount of chocolate that Sue ended up
using?
a. 1 pound
b. 1 pound 2 ounces
c. 1 pound 4 ounces
d. 1 pound 6 ounces
Answer: d. 1 pound 6 ounces
Begin by adding: 12 ounces + 10 ounces =
22 ounces. Since this is not an answer choice,
convert to pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 22 ounces is equal to 1 pound and 6
ounces.
